Conference Prestige ratings?

So now that we know that conference prestige is static, is there any place we can actually see the prestige of each conference?

Last year, the ratings were as follows:

ACC B
Big East B
Big XII B+
BIG10 A
SEC A+
PAC10 B+
CUSA C
MWC C+
MAC D+
WAC C+
Sunbelt D+

I'm mostly interested in knowing the impact of this year's moves.

I asked this in one thread and never got a reply. Maybe we'll see something. It is a bit important for making sure I like my setups for certain years.

Re: Conference Prestige ratings?

I wouldn't mind knowing. but I imagine the rankings would look something like this:

ACC B+ (didn't help their case much last year, but changes in the Big 12 and Pac 10 leave a void at the B+ rating)
Big East B (or maybe B-, since TCU won't be joining until 2012. I doubt any BCS automatic qualifier would fall to B- though)
Big XII B (no Nebraska, Colorado, or championsihp game; large amount of uncertainty)
BIG10 A+ (addition of Nebraska and a championship game, plus emerging contenders in Iowa, Wisconsin, and Michigan State)
SEC A+ (no changes here)
PAC10 A- (added championship game but the added programs aren't particularly prestigious. But the conference seems to no longer be a USC monopoly)
CUSA C
MWC B- (Boise State and others join, and TCU still remains for now)
MAC C- (seemed to take a small step forward this season)
WAC D (essentially demolished)
Sunbelt D+

Re: Conference Prestige ratings?

So the confernece prestige can't change no matter what? Even if we don't move teams? Say im in 2030.....are the conference letter grade going to be the same?

Yup.

Your school's academic prestige will change though.... as if that makes sense.

It only affects recruiting and I doubt it is a make-or-break pitch. If I'm Oklahoma in the Sun Belt, I highly doubt someone turns me down because I'm in the Sun Belt. It's just there to be there, I'm hoping.

What about any other pitches? Like program prestige?

I bet the BIG is still an A instead of an A+
